Overview
The Experience Design team at a global athletic footwear and apparel retailer is a group of designers, researchers, and writers rethinking how customers experience the brand across mobile app, responsive web, and in-store touchpoints. As a Product Designer on the Mobile App team, you'll shape the experience for the most loyal, highest-engagement customers — the app is where sneaker culture shows up first, from launches to loyalty.
Responsibilities
Design native iOS and Android experiences from concept to execution for high-traffic, high-visibility app features that solve customer needs and drive the business forward.
Partner with multi-disciplinary teams — product, engineering, research — to translate user needs, business requirements, and platform constraints into intuitive, engaging experiences.
Design for app-specific moments and capabilities.
Follow a user-centered, data-driven design process to conceptualize and iterate on solutions, from sketches to wireframes to interactive prototypes.
Design with the company's enterprise design system, and contribute mobile components, patterns, and documentation back to it as the system expands to app surfaces.
Build accessible experiences by default, applying ADA, WCAG, and native platform accessibility standards throughout your work.
Collaborate closely with mobile engineering through design-to-code workflows, reviewing builds against design specs and conducting QA across devices, OS versions, and screen sizes.
Take ownership of assigned work from discovery through release, communicating status and rationale clearly to teammates and stakeholders.
Participate actively in design critiques, giving and receiving constructive feedback to raise the bar on quality.
Qualifications
1-2+ years of product design experience with a focus on native mobile apps, preferably in e-commerce or retail.
Strong portfolio featuring shipped iOS and/or Android work, showing several projects and your direct contributions.
Familiarity with Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design, and an understanding of how native patterns differ from responsive web.
Proficiency in Figma (including components, variants, variables, and design tokens).
Working knowledge of accessibility standards and how to apply them on mobile.
Experience designing within and contributing to a design system.
Curiosity about AI-assisted design workflows and an interest in using emerging tools to accelerate exploration, prototyping, and design-to-code handoff.
Comfortable working with mobile engineers and understanding how design decisions translate into implementation and release cycles.
Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
